Britney Spears Postpones Her Domination Residency in Vegas

In an Instagram posted today, Britney Spears announced that she will be postponing her new Domination residency in Las Vegas, which was originally announced during a splashy event on the Strip back in October. She was set to open the show in February. The singer said she will be taking personal time off to take care of her ailing father, Jamie Spears.

“I don’t even know where to start with this, because this is so tough for me to say,” she wrote. “I will not be performing my new show Domination. I’ve been looking forward to this show and seeing all of you this year, so doing this breaks my heart. However, it’s important to always put your family first . . . and that’s the decision I had to make.”

“A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died,” she continued. “We’re all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him. I had to make the difficult decision to put my full focus and energy on my family at this time. I hope you all can understand.”

She added that information on tickets refunds is available on her website and went on to thank her fans for their prayers and support for her father, who has served as her conservator since 2008.

A rep for Spears confirmed that she will take an “indefinite hiatus” from the show—unclear if or when she will revive it—which was to be held at the Park Theater at the new Park MGM resort. It was to open in February with a 32-show run, and Spears had begun posting behind-the-scenes videos of herself and her dancers during choreography rehearsals. Before Domination, she performed her Piece of Me residency in Vegas from 2013 to 2017.
